Anytime you share life stories with other people, you know, you are acknowledging their humanity and kind of accessing some things about yourself, and other people start to expect things about themselves. It's kind of like a fellowship.

More quotes by Jill Scott
Back in my mid-20s I was told I'd never be able to have children as I wasn't having periods. Doctors tried to start up my monthly cycles, but when nothing worked, they actually offered me a hysterectomy. Without it, they said I might get ovarian cancer in the future. I chose not to have the operation, and am so glad I didn't.

Don't stop dreaming just because you had a nightmare.

When I get onstage, I automatically feel beautiful.
Jill Scott
All I have to do is be me on stage. But acting, I have to be someone else, and walk how they would walk and blink how they would blink. I used to talk about it bad like, 'Aw man, that person made $10 million a movie?' But now I understand why they do. I get it now.

If I feel really ugly or unhappy, sometimes I'll choose bright colors so they'll make me feel good. Yellows, pinks, light blues and orange. I just want to feel good all the time if I can. And colors and hairstyles and all that kind of helps out.

It excites me when a person puts their whole self in a song or rhyme, or instrument. It fills me.

One of the things I love about Africa is the amount of dignity and respect and humility you see all the time. You don't realise how often you're disrespected until you are surrounded by respect.
Jill Scott
When you have a cast and crew of people who make it light hearted and crack jokes, and break treats, and understand that we are all in this together. That's a biggest plus that you can have.
Jill Scott
If you can't help me grow, there's no point with you being in my life.

There's a high school in Camden, New Jersey, I call the Jill Scott School. It's the Camden Creative Arts High School. Those teachers and kids are so passionate about what they do, and 98 percent of the senior class went on to college.

Sometimes, for principle, your gonna have to kick some ass.

I'm a secret interior decorator. There's a mural on my dining room wall of the railroad tracks at 30th Street Station in Philadelphia. I love having my hometown with me out here in California.

I've been enjoying playing with fashion - gold grills and diamond grills have just become a part of that.
Jill Scott
My grill is intended to be discreet. It's there because I enjoy jewelry.

I'm a girl who enjoys a great meal with great friends, so I'm not really that concerned about weight loss.

Soul music is about longevity and reaching and touching people on a human level - and that's never going to get lost.
